The Betan Elite originated from the San Beda College of Manila. There was this group of prominent San Beda high school boys calling themselves Bedan’s Elite who idolized the Beta Sigmans of that campus. Soon it was formally adopted in 1969 as a junior organization of the San Beda Beta Sigma Fraternity Chapter and their group’s name was changed to Betan Elite and its head was designated as the Grand Elite. The foremost objective was to groom high school boys and become potential recruits once they enter college. This novel idea immediately spread to San Sebastian College and U.P. High School in Diliman.

In September of 1974, UPLB Beta Sigma established the U.P. Rural High School Betan Elite as well, the fourth chapter to do so. By 1975 most of its core members were the upper classmen calling themselves “Wilab” (reverse of baliw).

The neophytes also underwent physical initiation. We only needed to know the Betan Spirit and the five principles. We also had to report at the COOP Tambayan and get signatures of at least 10 kuya Beta Sigmans. Sometimes Beta Sigmans would also join the rites.

Because of our doctrine “there is but one Fraternity” it came to be known as the Betan Elite Society.

I can not believed how fanatic you are to the SRB & APO of trying to cause havoc and confusion to others. Instead of your negatively comments towards us both, I do strongly advise you to focus yourself in rendering your service to humanity and friendship to the members of APO back there in the Philippines. Instead of you being active to this forum site, Put those negative postings of yours into use by doing SERVICE projects to the communities.
